Honestly, the real reason to choose the PS3 version over the 360 version is the superior D-Pad, which is a godsend in a game where the puzzle sections are based on purely digital up-down-left-right movement. Analog sticks can cause problems there, and the 360 D-Pad just isn't as precise.

Also why are there alternate box art versions? Why can't they just make the box art reversible so we can get both.

I wish I could play this game today, but my girlfriend is buying it and I have to wait for her to finish it. Oh well, I will experience the awesomeness of this game eventually.

Ugh. I don't think it will come later today. I guess i'll go pick up a copy from Target and return the copy I get from Amazon whenever it comes in. Also i'm gonna ask for a refund of my shipping costs if it's not here later, because of what was still paid for it.
For those who eventually get this e-mail, are you located in the Midwest?

Someone please tell me why I still bother with Axel.
(No customs BS when dealing with them, that's why)

Pre-ordered Demon's Souls DE two days before it came out: my order was cancelled.
Ordered Devil Survivor for a friend of mine a few months ago: was on backorder for a whole month. Had to cancel it.
Pre-ordered Catherine DE back in May, game comes out tomorrow: no sign of it shipping anytime soon.

Urgh. So frustrating.

Yeah mine still hasn't changed in status either, to be honest I'm not that bothered though as with the European release impending I'll just keep my Love is Over edition sealed as a collectors item.

It's for customers who aren't comfortable with the regular cover art.

I'd imagine they don't provide both because you're either comfortable with it or not + costs of printing.

Disappointed in Amazon/UPS order as well: "Status: Shipment Delayed"-- "Possible delay in delivery due to arrival at incorrect carrier facility"

I know it falls more on UPS. But, sucks either way. I usually don't purchase games day one from Amazon. Not a good first impression, reminds of why I stopped purchasing non discounted games online.

Yup im in the southeast as well....

Got the same email. F u amazon

I love how they blame it on the publisher but yet the publisher was able to get everyone else there's. Brb sending them email telling how they shouldn't treat a customer of my status. I spend far too much money on amazon for them to group me in a delay batch

Yeah, odd to see people having issues with Amazon. I probably have around or even over 100 orders from Amazon, and I had one issue in all of them, and it wasnt even them, it was UPS (saying that NCAA 12 was delivered on my porch, and it wasnt.)

I <3 Amazon.

Indeed! I need this into my PAL-life ! This will determine if I will get El Shaddai from them as well.

I think I'm just going to wait for the european release of that, it only comes out about 3weeks later. Not really worth the effort of importing.

I refuse to order from Amazon for big releases or releases Im super excited for because of the off chance for something to go wrong. If I end up having a shitty day at work only to come home to a UPS post it note on my door on the day that, let's say, Skyrim releases, something would burn.

I doubt anyone who bought the game today would even had a chance to play enough of it to form an impression that's more informative than the demo.

Yeah but I know there were some midnight launches. I was thinking maybe somebody would be in here "Hey I got it at midnight launch and stayed up until 5:30 playing it. Its really good! The story is...blah blah blah"

I'll have my copy in less than 2 hours, so I can simmer down about it, I was just hoping for some player impressions. And yeah, I know about the JP thread, but I don't go in there due to spoilers.

So what was the earlier chatter about audio problems in one of the SKUs? Need to decide which to buy, thanks.

Volume levels on the animated cutscenes are fine, but the volume on in-game cutscenes is very low. This is consistent across both versions. If you have to decide on the best experience, go for the PlayStation 3 version. It's better than the Xbox 360 version on every level.
